Turn signal switch

[hatch87]

HELP!! installed a new signal switch today (before nothing would happen when you turned the switch) the hazards worked before I installed it. Now the haszards don’t work at all they don’t click and only make the front signal light come on

Is the harmonica connector plugged all the way together? If so, still have the old switch?
It can be plugged in to the connector under the column without being reinstalled in the column. If your hazards start working then I would say the new switch is also bad.

Is the turn signal relay bad ? You can use the one for the hazards to test since they are the same and that one was working.

When I bought a new turn signal switch the wiring connector on the end had "almost" the right spacing. However, I couldn't get all the wires to line up and make a good connection, so I cut the end off the old switch and spliced it on the new switch.

Hopefully you didn't put the wheel back on already, that's frustrating.

Had a similar issue with my CJ5. (Saginaw column, fun mix of GM parts in there, the turn signal switch included) Granted, it sounds like you could possibly have some wiring issues, having spiced it? Anyways..... there was a depth difference on the "pads", where the mounting screws hold the switch down. Tightening one screw too much tweaked the new switch, causing an internal short. Really oddball issue that threw me for a loop until I figured it out.

Thinking about it, double check your brake switch. Same filaments used for hazards I think? An issue there could cause problems too.

I’d start with the plug on that turn signal switch though, verifying you got it wired right. Maybe someone has a pinout/wiring diagram handy?
